Meet our team

Simple, warm, and reassuring. You're the expert on your own life. Our role is not to judge or tell you what to do. We listen to better understand your experience and create space where you feel safe to explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. 

You can anticipate support, empathy, and honesty - with time to build rapport, the goal is you will eventually feel more comfortable and confident opening up and identifying answers to your own questions, make changes you want, and grow in the direction that's right for you. 

EMDR is a therapy that helps people heal from difficult or traumatic experiences. Sometimes when something really upsetting happens, our brain doesn’t fully process it—it gets stuck. EMDR helps ‘unstick’ those memories so they don’t keep affecting you the same way.

During EMDR, we’ll focus on a memory while using something called bilateral stimulation—examples include moving your eyes side to side, tapping, or listening to sounds that alternate between the left and right ears, such as tones or music. This helps your brain reprocess the memory in a way that feels less upsetting and more resolved.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a type of therapy that helps you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and actions are connected. Sometimes, the way we think about things can make us feel worse or lead to unhelpful habits. CBT helps you recognize those patterns and learn more balanced ways of thinking and coping. The goal is to help you feel better and deal with challenges more effectively.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, is a type of therapy that helps you manage intense emotions, improve your relationships, and cope with stress in healthier ways. It teaches you specific skills to handle things like anger, anxiety, impulsive behavior, or feeling overwhelmed. At the same time, it also focuses on accepting yourself as you are. We’ll work on building real-life skills in four areas:

1. Mindfulness – learning to stay present and aware without judgment

2. Distress Tolerance – getting through tough moments without making things worse

3. Emotion Regulation – understanding and managing intense feelings

4. Interpersonal Effectiveness – handling relationships and communication in healthy ways

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy—ACT for short—is about helping you live a life that’s meaningful to you, even when you’re facing tough thoughts, feelings, or situations. It’s not about trying to ‘get rid of’ painful emotions or thoughts, but learning how to respond to them in a healthier way, so they don’t control your life. ACT is focused on two areas: 

1. How to accept what you can’t control (like anxiety, grief, or fear)

2. How to commit to actions that move you toward your values—the things that truly matter to you

To accomplish this, we will work on the following: 

• Mindfulness – learning to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them

• Defusion – stepping back from unhelpful thoughts instead of getting caught in them

• Acceptance – making space for difficult emotions instead of fighting them

• Values – getting clear on what truly matters to you

• Committed action – taking small, meaningful steps even in the face of fear or discomfort

Emotionally Focused Therapy, or EFT, is a type of couples counseling that helps you and your partner understand the deeper emotional patterns in your relationship. It’s not just about solving surface-level problems—it’s about helping you both feel more secure, understood, and connected emotionally. The goal of EFT is to help you move from conflict or distance to a place where you both feel emotionally safe, supported, and more connected—like you’re truly on the same team.

Every relationship has the potential to get stuck in negative cycles—like arguments that repeat or feeling distant from each other. In EFT, we work together to:

• Identify those patterns,

• Understand the emotions underneath them (like fear, hurt, or loneliness), and

• Create new ways of responding to each other that build closeness and trust.
